Re: Libre Office 4.1 accessibility fail
I am working on fixing LibreOffice accessibility on OS X. Currently focused on Writer text component. The just released LibreOffice 4.0.5 starts providing typing and cursor movement echo on OS X 10.7 and 10.8. And LibreOffice 4.1.2 (due in late September) and LibreOffice 4.2 will have much better support for text accessibility, including announcing misspelled text and other text attributes and searching for them, among others. If you would like to get a sneak peak, you can download and try the daily build of 4.1 at: http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/MacOSX-X86_64@43/2013-08-25_07.28.50/master~2013-08-25_07.28.50_LibreOfficeDev_4.2.0.0.alpha0_MacOS_x86-64.dmg I will post to this forum with 4.1.2 is released and hope to get some more features/fixes (e.g. accessible links in text) into it before the 4.1.2 deadline.

Reading Kindle books in the iOS app using a braille display
Hi, Please could someone tell me how to navigate to the next page using a braille display in the Kindle iOS app? I can read the contents of the currently visible page but don't seem to be able to move it on. I've seen a couple of posts on the net about the command not always working, but I can't find out what the command actually is. I'm using a BraillePen12 if that makes a difference. Many thanks for any assistance. Ed -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Libre Office 4.1 accessibility fail
Hi and thanks. This sounds really good. What i would wish you had a look at is the fact that just as in Openoffice, even when it was at its peak of accessibility, every paragraph was treated as a separate edit box, making it really hard to read long pieces of text. I hope this will be fixed in a future version of Libreoffice. /Krister 25 aug 2013 kl. 19:38 skrev Boris Dušek : > I am working on fixing LibreOffice accessibility on OS X.

I would definitely agree with this. Overall, the more accessibility, the better and it will be great to have another application that I can use and recommend. Take Care John D.

keynote question
Anne Robinson and others: Thanks for the info about Keynote. Now a question. Is there any way to read the slides while in play or slideshow mode? Also, what is the best way to review the slides with voiceover. I notice they do read in the editor after some complicated navigation I can kind of figure them out but a more streamlined approach would be appreciated. Off-list communication about this is also ok.

Re: In app purchases
Hello, Apple doesn't charge taxes on in-app purchases. I don't see how they can actually charge for items that aren't physical in nature. Same would go for second life.

Re: Question: where does mail go if you press the archive button in mail on the iPhone?
Hi there If you want on your iPhone it gives you choices for where to put it. If you don't make any of those choices, then it may be in your trash folder. You may not have archived it either because once you press the move button then you get the choice of your accounts on your iPhone. You might want to look in some of your other folders on your iPhone too. I did this once on my Mac and I discovered that below the Archive choice is for you to archive on your mat. Hope this makes sense. Regards, The messages go in the cloud if you archive it on your iPhone.

Re: Question: where does mail go if you press the archive button in mail on the iPhone?
It depends what type of email account you were using and what the settings were. But usually it will have gone to a folder called archive or, on gmail, [IMAP]/archive. You should be able to find the archive folder in the accounts section of Mail on your iPhone. But, like Gigi said, it may have gone to trash; though, usually with VO it will tell you whether the button is going to send it to trash or archive.

How to use loops in Garageband for iOS?
Hi all: I am working on Garageband in iPad with some students and I need to bring some loops to my project. How do I do this using VoiceOver? I find the loop I want, but I can't do anything. I would like to copy and be able to change its duration. I remember that I did this before, but I don't know if it is because I forgot how to do it, or because something has changed and it is not possible anymore. Thank you very much for your ideas!
